Fool Me Once. Nice premise but just a bit too messy to be a great series.
But Adeel Akhtar was outstanding and has to be one the best TV actors out there - extraordinary performance

His character irked me.
Agree about the show though, got silly at the end.
Michelle Keegan is HAF too

2 seasons of excellence
Watch it

It's not very subtle. The car chase and the helicopter chase had me pulling my hair out. In fact they weren't chases, they were tailing, but they resembled a road rager wanting to tail gate some schmuck.
In fact, The car 'chase' is a poster child for the 'shit women drivers' theory.

@MajorRage yeah enjoyed MMS, wasn't exactly must watch in the end and kinda just felt like a slight remake of the movie. Feels like it's one and done too...
we started it over the weekend and really enjoyed it, some funny bits, some action, we're not spoon fed (just have to assume they received some training)
what interesting as theyve done away with the big thing from the movie in they didn't know each other were spies (thats right isn't it?)....so its just husband and wife that are spies together

So finished 3 body problem.
Essentially a sci fi series, linking maths, cosmology and aliens.
3 episodes in and liking it. A bit different and great to see a minimum of stereotypical characters.
UPDATE: Finished and thought it excellent. Didn't drop off like a lot of series and a good mix of hokum and realism, spiritualism and hard science.
I like the way the 3 Body Problem refers to the 3 suns and the 3 Wallwatchers. Think there's a link there somewhere... Oh, and how did the aliens gets their technology and headsets to earth - Sophons? -
Not what I was expecting.
Much, much better than expected.
Will binge.

A lot of online twittering about the crap Brummie accents (is there actually a good one?).

Seem fine to me
But I'm no aficionado
The N Irish accents are bang on

This Town finished
Worth the license fee increase on its own
Some excellent young talent ably supported by old timers playing well out of character
Great writing, great pacing
Top tunes
4.5 RAs out of 5 BAs

The Gone. Well-plotted and well-acted but the Irish characters were a bit stereotyped. The use of te reo was really well done and added to the story.
3.5/5
finished that this week, was pretty good.
Often some Kiwi stuff can be a bit cringey, but this one seemed to work, some good acting but I think the stereo-typing could apply to many of the NZ characters too.
Yeah I thought the addition of Te Reo worked.
Assume a S2 is in planning with many unanswered questions, and obviously the ending.
Upto ep 5 of 3 Body Problem, that was a brutal episode.

Most of the Kiwi stuff we get over here is pretty good and non-cringeworthy. Brokenwood has assumed a bit of a cult status as the characters are pretty different and quirky.

@Victor-Meldrew thnk we watched a Season of that, was good, but there is so much stuff to watch.
Another kiwi one TVNZ have been adevertising this alot, but havent had a chance to look at it yet
-
Cheers. we'll look out for that.

@taniwharugby That has been on SoHo.
I can't say I've watched too many recent NZ series but this was enjoyable.
